A sustainable team requires strong administrative support from its academic institution.
Having the backing of your school’s administration supports the health of the current team but also ensures the sustainability of Enactus on your campus for years to come.
How can you get your school excited about Enactus?
- Bring your dean and/or university president out to events to see you and other Enactus teams in action – Enactus Sheridan invited various school deans out to last years’ Regional and National Expositions and this year they have administrative funding for the team to travel to Calgary for the 2014 Enactus Canada National Exposition
- Engage your school’s marketing team – Enactus Memorial has a great relationship with their Faculty of Business Administration’s communications department and the overall university’s marketing group, resulting in amazing stories on the team and their student entrepreneurs
- Demonstrate the learning outcomes and value of Enactus for your school – because the team and faculty at the University of Calgary demonstrated the impact of Enactus on student learning and personal development, their Haskayne School of Business has embedded Enactus into the school’s strategic plan
When you engage your administration, market your success and demonstrate the value of Enactus to your school, administration and financial support is sure to follow. Many school across the country are very successful – and you can be too!
Not sure where to start, reach out to one of these teams or to your Program Manager.
